Looking for the perfect home base for your Mendocino Coast adventures? Look no further.
Rest easy at the Harbor Watch, a large-scale tiny home situated in the heart of Noyo Harbor, a historic and fully operational fishing harbor. At this vacation rental, you’re right on the water -- any closer, and you’d be swimming -- so you’ll have a front-row seat for our spectacular sunsets. It gives you the perfect vantage point to wave to passing fishing boats, keep an eye on the playful antics of frolicking seals, and listen to the lapping waters of the ocean. You’ll be the first to see any comings and goings, from curious wildlife to diving birds to resilient rowing teams.
Situated right on the pier, this recently renovated cabin offers the rustic charm of a fishing village bungalow coupled with a stellar list of amenities and easy access to the best destinations of the coast. There’s plenty to pique your interest wherever you go, with the harbor’s myriad attractions at your fingertips and the hidden gems of Fort Bragg and the Mendocino Coast just a short drive away. Check out the region’s great hiking trails through lush redwood forests or along the coast, elegant art galleries, charming shops, pristine beaches, or festive celebrations and events. Then treat yourself to a cone from the world-famous Cowlick’s Ice Cream or a pint from the award-winning North Coast Brewing Company.
You’re also just steps away from world-class restaurants that offer a variety of deftly crafted dinner options, many of which feature the bounty of the Pacific Ocean. Need to walk off a filling meal? Amble down the road to Noyo Harbor Beach and watch the waves splash over the breakwater before returning to the Harbor Watch to plan your next expedition.
If you prefer to cook your own meals, you’ll enjoy the fully-equipped kitchen. And if you want to get creative, you’ll find the best locally-sourced ingredients at nearby markets, from fresh-caught fish to grass-fed meat to tasty greens.
Looking for a quiet night in? Survey your domain from the upstairs loft, lounge in the living room downstairs, or park yourself in one of the chairs on the porch with your beverage of choice. Featuring splendid views, creature comforts, and great amenities, the Harbor Watch will keep you relaxed and refreshed throughout your time on the coast.
Even the seals need to rest sometimes (and in fact, you might spot them catching some Zs on the southern docks). When it’s time to call it a night, sink into your luxurious bed and dream big! The Mendocino Coast is your oyster.
NOTE: The ceilings in the loft are very low, about 4 feet high - very comfortable but just watch your head.

STUFF THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW
THIS RENTAL IS LOCATED IN AN RV PARK IN THE HARBOR
This rental is located in a classic, old school RV park that have been in the harbor for decades. I personally think that is adds to the rustic harbor experience but there are some who do not like being in an RV park. Please look through all of the photos on this rental so you can get an idea of what the park is like so you can make a personal determination if this is right for you .
IN THE HOUSE
The house binder on the kitchen counter has just about all the information you might possibly need and probably a little more. There are 2 Television sets in the home, one in the living room downstairs and another in the Beanbag room in the loft. The instructions for both TV's are in the binder towards the back for your convenience.
GARBAGE
There are garbage cans for the trailer park at the inside entrance to the park on the left side when looking back from the unit.
VEHICLES
There is room for one vehicle which can park directly beside the unit. If there is need for a second vehicle, please reach out to us so we can try to accommodate if possible. Since the parking is right beside the unit and there are other units close by, please try to be as quiet as possible early in the morning and late at night. Thank you !
PAY ATTENTION AND BE SAFE
Children must be supervised at all times on the wharf. No climbing on the railing at any time for both children and adults
